The Grand Egyptian Museum opened its doors to the public on Tuesday after an extravagant inaugural ceremony attended by royals and heads of state.
The $1 billion megaproject has been promoted as the world’s largest museum dedicated to a single civilization, with nearly 50,000 artifacts. For the first time, visitors can marvel at the collection of treasures from the tomb of the famed King Tutankhamun, which was discovered in 1922.
